It's time to retire "easy to install"

On a related note, can we please stop focusing so much time and effort on making GNU/Linux easy to install? Consider the time wasted on WUBI (the MS Windows-based Ubuntu installer). How many people do you know who say: "Gee, I'd love to try GNU/Linux a try, but I don't want to partition my hard disk."

Anyone who is serious about trying GNU/Linux will drop an installation CD into their computer. The process doesn't need to be made any easier than it already is.
